Your GPU memory is full - Quadro 4000

Hello everybody.
I'm having some issues with Resolve.
I get the message "Your GPU memory is full, try reducing the timeline resolution or the number of correctors"

I have a pretty powerfull system and think this shouldn't happen to me.

I'm on a 10.000USD Windows 7 machine with a Quadro 4000 graphics card.
I'm trying to grade Black Magic Cinema Camera footage on DaVinci Resolv 9.

Please help.

How much GPU RAM is on that card?

What resolution is your timeline?

You need about 2GB to work with 2K/HD and 4GB is advised for 4K.

The Quadro 4000 has 2 GB ram. How do I check my timelime resolution?

I also have another card installed. A really crapy one for that matter. It's called Quadro NVS 310.
Do you think that one is making the system instable??
the Quadro 4000 is the main one and where Resolve starts up

I think your Q4000 is being used for UI and 310 for CUDA compute. You can confirm this in preferences.

Make sure there are no monitors connected to your Q4000, or alternatively take out the 310 from the system.

This is what the system overview says.

Video Card 1: Quadro 4000 - GUI Only
Video Card 2: NVS 310


Y have one 27inch computer monitor and one projector connected to the quadro 4000 and another 27inch computer monitor connected to the NVS 310

I can't remove the NVS 310 because the Quadro 4000 only alows me to connect 2 monitors and since I also have the projector I need another card for the third output

Is there any way I can make this work?

I disconected the NVS 310 just to test and you are 100% right. DaVinci works really smooth without it.
I still have this problem because I need both cards in the computer. How do I tell DaVinci to use which card for what?

... have one 27inch computer monitor and one projector connected to the quadro 4000...

This is your issue. All of the GPUs resources are used to drive those 2 displays.

So nothing left for Resolve to use for GPU processing.

The other card is not very powerful and its already being used to drive the 27" display.

I don't understand.
I disconected the NVS 310 and now the Quadro 4000 is driving both 27inch monitors. and it works fine.
why would the performace go down if one more card is driving one more output?

what is the solution?

Resolve was trying to use the other card for GPU work. It's not up for the task.

Removing it forces Resolve to use the Quadro 4000 for GPU work.

I'd look at replacing the other card.

Ok. So maybe another Quadro 4000 would be better.
If I wanted to have a real color correcting monitor, maybe a 20" CRT, what kind of card would you recomend me to get for that?

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

Probably get better performance from a GTX670/680 or even better would be the new GTX780 or Titan.

Ok. cool. Thank you

I found many different GTX780 models. at least here in Sweden.

MSI GeForce GTX 780 Gaming 3GB PhysX

Gainward GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA

MSI GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA

wich one should I buy and can you tell me what the difference is?

If you are to use a CRT grading monitor you will feed that with a BMD DeckLink card, nothing to do with the GPU.

As for the GPU's you list, the MSI or EVGA have been noted by others of the forums as working. I'm not familiar with the Gainward.

It's possible to use the Q4000 as a UI GPU and the 780 for processing.... In this case the GUI monitors are plugged into the Q4000 and nothing into the 780.
